Arsenal have reportedly dispensed with eight staff members as part of a wider overhaul of the club's backroom personnel.

The outfit has mandated considerable structural and personnel change since the departure of Arsene Wenger in the summer of 2018.

Among those sacked from their position is former Gunners player Steve Morrow, who was head of the club's youth scouting department.

According to The Mirror, a total of eight people have been removed from their positions in North London.

Others who have been removed include Kevin Beadell, Dan Rice and Dave Lee, all of whom held recruitment positions at the Emirates.

Despite a recent poor run of form and growing discontent among Arsenal fans, manager Unai Emery is said to have been told that he will not lose his job anytime soon.
